Hi,

	I can't believe that a company of that size and stature would 
stoop to such a low life tactic just to save some of their precious 
cash. 

	I've been hit with an approach in the past when a business 
wants free music and mentions that I can hand out my cards to get 
lots of other work.  Gee thanks!

Bill Gates has been ripping programmers off, competitive companies off, 
the public off, and only now musicians get their turn. But you gotta 
understand when you have 90 billion, then you simply need to have 100 
billion or you can be happy. You understand don't you?

	Oh.  Now that you explained it that way, I see the reasoning.  :-)
